Hanukkah came early this year. McCann to the Yankees for 5 Years/$85 Million

Sign on the dotted line! Brian McCann is headed to the Bronx for $85 million over 5 years. His contract will include a 6th year option, bringing the grand total to $100M if he so chooses.

Don’t worry Yankees fans. You’ll no longer have to worry about whether Chris Stewart or Francisco Cervelli will be starting behind the plate. McCann will be the first offensive force behind the dish since Posada left the team back in 2011.

Glad the Yanks are getting a much better catcher because as Casey Stengel said, “You have to have a catcher because if you don’t you’re likely to have a lot of passed balls.”
